          A:  Never noticed any harm to flowers. Try reading the bag. I don't think there is anything but fertilizer in there.

            A:  Turf Builder Summerguard Lawn Fertilizer is not registered for use around ornamentals or mulched areas, however, if product is applied in drip zone of ornamental trees, shrubs, and flower beds within the lawn, it will not harm them.

              DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
              I had the best lawn in the neighborhood with nice landscaping. We're having a tough heat wave and decided to try something to protect part of my grass from the constant sun. Bought this product and applied it only to burn all my grass!!

                THIS PRODUCT WORKS
                I followed the directions and put this on my lawn in June. I'm in Nebraska and today is August 8th. With the exception of last night where we received .5 inches of rain there hasn't been any significant rain since May. I don't have a sprinkler system, just me and a garden hose. The "feel like" temperatures have been in the mid to upper 90's and over 100 degrees almost every day since June. There are some brown spots in spaces just because of the excessive heat but for the most part my grass is green. My neighbors, a lot of whom pay for professional lawn treatment, have lawns that are burnt to a crisp.

                    All Scotts product works great!
                    I buy only Scott's lawn care products all year long. I love this product because it kills unwanted bug and fertilizer last in drought conditions like in the south.

                      Scott’s plan keeps my yard green even in TX heat
                      I’ve been following the Scott’s app plan for 3 years. My lawn is staying green and has filled in a lot! I threw down Summerguard in late June and will do a 2nd application this week. Even during this Texas heatwave 2022, it’s very green. Photo taken 7/18/22

                        Burned Perfectly green lawn
                        If i could give negative stars i would. This product within two weeks burnt up almost my entire front lawn and 1/3 of my back lawn with random brown circles as well. I Followed all the directions, watered in the product, and i have built in sprinkler system for consistent watering schedule. I went from a perfectly green lawn to a now embarrassing brown lawn. I wanted to try the 4 step program and the spring fertilizers worked fine, the summer fertilizer killed it. I would never recommend.

                          Killed grass
                          Very green yard prior to application. Put down Scott’s due to the temperature (Tennessee) to give the grass some help. Got some rains and two days later the yard started dying. It’s getting worse by the day. Looking at thousands to repair.
